I had one and a half days in the office this week, which felt a bit weird. I had to work on something with one of my colleagues, so we got permission to go in and work in one of the meeting rooms, sitting on either side of a meeting table and connecting the laptop to the projector screen on the wall. The meeting room is amply stocked with hand sanitiser and cleaning products, so we were able to maintain distance and hygiene while working on the biggest spreadsheet you've ever seen.
Unlikely to be repeated, though, as cases in Melbourne are going up again (twenty-five new cases yesterday and nineteen today), so our lockdown restrictions are being tightened again. For the first time, they're talking about regional variations, as the City by the Sea only ever had five cases, all people returning from overseas travel, and none in the last two months. But for now at least, another month at home.
I forgot to say last week that Alistair had his annual home visit from the vet. Vaccinations up to date, and he's lost 100g since last year, so the vet was pleased with him... or was pleased with him right up until he bit the vet's finger. In fairness, the vet had just poked his finger in Alistair's mouth, so it was more of a reflex action than a vicious bite, but there was a lot of blood. So I think both cat and vet are glad that trauma's over for another year.
This week brought a letter in the mail from an old LJ friend, who is sending out little pieces of art to brighten people's days. It certainly made my day. I've pinned it to my work pinboard.
Also, I bought a new toothbrush this week. It's fine. It does the job. But the packaging was over the top. All caps and random bolding telling me the toothbrush offers:
- 4 ZONES OF BACTERIA REMOVING ACTION
- <0.01mm CHARCOAL DUAL CORE SLIM TIP BRISTLES GENTLY REACH 7X DEEPER BELOW THE GUM LINE
- INNOVATIVE TONGUE AND CHEEK CLEANING DESIGN
- RUBBER POLISHING CUPS
- 300% HEALTHIER GUMS
Finally, a headline from the local news:
DAIRY FARMER WRITES POEM
Page three, that was. High importance.
